Re: Writing an anime-style VN with Japanese vocabulary?

I'm not into putting Japanese vocabulary for the heck of it. However, if it DOES make some sense with the setting or atmosphere, it's fine for me (Think about the Persona series). Take in consideration that it's really hard to find the right point: if you use it too little, it'll feel unnecesary. If...

Re: Truefaiterman's Art [Always Looking for feedback]

I couldn't practice that much with inking, but I managed to make three more drawings! I hope you like them! http://orig11.deviantart.net/5be9/f/2015/309/c/3/c3c58591924c266036c4c58b708304c0-d9fls5h.jpg http://orig06.deviantart.net/9935/f/2015/309/0/a/0a6260ca1f9b65a09f6f16d762799c9e-d9flsfq.jpg http...

Re: Share your Creative Hobbies/skills and Endeavors!

I love playing videogames and reading comic/manga. I love watching animation, and my main passions are drawing and voice acting (both things are my current job: I'm still starting with illustration, but I've voiced a few hundreds of commercials, and starred in a few movies and TV series's dubs). I a...

Re: Are translations needed?

Another Spanish translator :') I'll get to open my own thread... soon... I hope... Yup, most translated VNs are in English. Mostly because of what Trooper6 and PyTom said, but also because VNs tend to be on the cheaper side of the commercial spectrum, and... I'm not sure if this genre has a big enou...

Re: Ulalaria/Meagan's Art Thread [content warning: nudity]

Wow, this is some high level art! I love it!! (I also love religion related illustration, so it's a win-win to me!) I also preffer the first pose, even when making neutral poses, there has to be some character in the pose. If you think about alternate poses, you may want to consider lots of torso an...

Re: Looking for a sweet artist for Sierra Ops

Hi there, Jason! Sierra Ops looks awesome! I'm really interested in working with you, I'm currently on 19 projects and this could be the last one I'd need to have my 20th! Jokes aside, I'm getting everything ready to open comissions in a future, so if you're interested on my services, you couldn't h...

Re: About voice actors and budgets

I'm a developer from Australia that is making a game with extensive voice acting. I usually pay per word and go with freelance actors in the UK which are generally cheaper than their US equivalents. Looking around for freelancers at the right junction of cost vs quality obviously takes a lot of tim...

Re: About voice actors and budgets

Thanks for your answer, it's really valuable! I've heard about the #PerformanceMatters issue, but I don't really know much about it, I'll have to take a good look at it! I do have a last question, if you can answer it: do you make the stated work in a home-studio, or in an external recording studio?...

Hi there Lemma! I think this is the first time I've opened a topic in Creator Discussion... TL,DR VERSION: If you don't need/want the explanation, then go directly to the questions (quoted for readability), every help is appreciated!

Re: What defines a "visual novel" apart from other games?

Well, we're trying to define an entire genre here, so... it IS very complicated. Using more examples, how would you define what an "Action game" actually is? Action games are a huuuge mixture of narratives, aesthetics, mechanichs, etc which can alternate and merge with other genres. Even i...

Re: What defines a "visual novel" apart from other games?

Though that still does leave the question, should I advertise this game as strictly visual novel, or does it focus on something else more heavily? Would you feel cheated if you bought or played a game that said it was a visual novel but only featured VN-like cutscenes and the rest of it was other k...

Re: What defines a "visual novel" apart from other games?

Every genre can be mixed, and the visual novel genre being mostly about narrative it's a convenient tool for a "secondary" element in your game (it looks fine, and it's waaaay cheaper than making cutscenes). I remember when, suddenly, every game had "RPG-elements" where they had ...

Re: Does Anyone Know a List of Indie Game Publishers?

Sorry, I... kinda forgot to add the names x_D That was stupid on my part.

Try contacting Devolver Digital (they publish a lot of indie games like Hotline Miami or Hatoful Boyfriend), or perhaps one of the usual visual novel publishers on the US (MangaGamer, JAST USA, etc).

Re: Does Anyone Know a List of Indie Game Publishers?

Unsuccesful as in FNAF4 having more than five million downloads from the Android version only? Even the first game, the less succesful one, has close to a million there, and the third one close to ten millions. And that's not counting Steam (the main source of income as far as I know), Desura and iO...
